Faith, wisdom,
and the work
of learning.
A classical Christian tutorial for Latter-day Saint homeschool families.
Through science, cultural study, and the humanities, we help students grow in knowledge, character, and faith in Jesus Christ. Families find thoughtful instruction, purposeful study, and companions in the work of learning.

Learning asks
something of us.
Our teachers partner with parents to offer the preparation, conversation, practice, and encouragement that help students take responsibility for their learning.
Read the Family Handbook →Prepare with purpose
Age-appropriate reading, observation, and assignments give students something meaningful to bring to class.
Think together
Students ask questions, explain their reasoning, listen carefully, and learn from teachers and classmates.
Practice for mastery
Recall, cumulative review, writing, and constructive feedback help knowledge endure beyond a single lesson.
Grow in character
Prayer, hymns, gratitude, and shared expectations connect intellectual work with humility, diligence, and charity.

Why Scale How?
Our name honors Scale How, Charlotte Mason’s House of Education in England. Her understanding of education through atmosphere, discipline, and life informs our work alongside the classical Christian tradition and the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our educational philosophy
We believe education should cultivate wisdom, virtue, and a love of truth. Excellent books, careful observation, worthwhile work, and relationships with teachers and fellow students give children opportunities to grow in knowledge and understanding.
Our tutorials supplement the family homeschool. Parents retain responsibility for their children’s overall education, while our teachers provide structured instruction, meaningful feedback, and a community of academic peers.
We hold high expectations with patience and grace. Students prepare, participate, receive correction, and practice diligence. Through prayer, hymns, scripture, and thoughtful study, we seek to help them connect learning with faith in Jesus Christ and service to others.
